Hi. I've been using both Swiftfox and Seamonkey 2.0 in Vector Light 6.0, and I've noticed that on certain sites in particular the screen refresh doesn't work properly; the window gets overlaid with strips of text to the point where it becomes unreadable and has to be closed. (Reload Tab works sometimes, but not always). Has anyone else had this problem?

I think I had that problem with swiftfox once and maybe seamonkey. It could be that the site is optimized for IE. (maybe) You could try changing the browser identification. (I know there is a firefox addon to do this but I don't know about for seamonkey.)

This has been experienced by several users, including me. The problem seems to be that we're using the xorg driver for NVIDIA or ATI graphics. If people switch to the proprietary drivers, the problem goes away. However, the proprietary drivers don't work with some NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards/chips, so if this junk rendering is really bothersome, we'd have to change to the xorg vesa driver.

The problem does not happen with Opera. If your problem is the same as mine, it has nothing to do with being optimized for IE. It's a problem with the xorg driver for NVIDIA and ATI.

SeaMonkey now uses the same base as Firefox, so both of them display the problem.--GrannyGeek

@GrannyGeek;you may be right, but my graphics card is an onboard 4MB one rather than a separate one and as far as I know isn't either NVIDIA or ATI in design. I still might compare my xorg.conf file against the one I use in Puppy (which doesn't have the same problem) to see what the difference is.
